Chapter 97 -97 Insight into Secrets_1

Colin didn’t know Hu Xiaoyuan was trying to guess his strength, but at this moment, as the two opened the apartment door and stepped outside, they were immediately surrounded by numerous dark figures.

They seemed to be following an instinct, reaching out their arms and walking slowly towards the two.

Colin didn’t waste any time, he pressed the “Elf Ball” in his pocket and stealthily attached “The False Powerhouse” to a concealed part of his body.

Upon using it this time, he felt the presence of over thirty “valid recognitions”.

These “valid recognitions” quickly transformed into tangible strength, swelling within him accompanied by a surge of confidence.

“Heh…”

Colin flashed a confident smile, the military shovel in his hand gleaming brilliantly, as if it were a blessed Holy Relic.

He dashed forward in just a few strides, gripping the handle of the military shovel with both hands, swung it, and fiercely slapped it down on the head of a dark figure.

With a clang, the shadow’s head was smashed into its chest cavity, its form rapidly dissipating.

However, this time it didn’t vanish into the air but was instead pulled invisibly into Colin’s pocket.

“Good, got one.” Colin nodded to himself, lifting the military shovel that emitted dazzling light, and charged towards the next target.

Clang, clang, clang~

Within the stronghold, the sound of striking echoed continuously, leaving the survivors in the other apartments standing at their windows in shock.

More and more faces appeared behind the windows, staring in amazement.

The monsters that had once driven them to despair were now being dispatched one by one with the shovel, as easy as chopping melons and slicing vegetables.

“Damn, what’s going on, how is he doing that?”

“I thought the guys who came to support us earlier were invincible, but this guy’s even fiercer. Who is this big shot?”

“We’re saved! We’re finally saved!”

“Big brother, take us with you, let’s charge together!”

Voice came from the nearby buildings, many people excited by Colin’s performance, and even wanted to join him.

But Colin ignored these shouts.

How could he possibly contain the monsters well while in the company of these vermin?

“Hahaha, come on, let me have a bit more fun!”

Colin laughed wildly, swinging his military shovel, slaying the approaching monsters with a single strike.

As more and more “valid recognitions” appeared, his strength became even more formidable, his physical condition surpassing even that of Beast Transformation Syndrome.

His whole being radiated with a glowing aura, making him seem like a god descended from the heavens.

The battle with the aberrations could only be described as utterly devastating.

However, Hu Xiaoyuan, following behind, was somewhat distressed as he watched Colin’s rampage because, after thirty minutes, they had barely made it five hundred meters.

“But with Mr. Lin’s strength, at the very least he’s at the ‘Agent’ level, or even a high-level ‘Agent’, right?”

Hu Xiaoyuan watched the wild slaughter, his eyes glittering in wonder.

Some practitioners on the path of “Divine Strike,” after borrowing the power of their “idols” to a certain extent, could be referred to as “Agents.”

Just like those on the path of Fate Propeller who, even without the “Book of Fate,” could predict the future through their own abilities.

Such people truly belonged to the extraordinary realm…

Clang!

“One hundred sixteen!”

Colin slapped one dark figure with his right hand, shattering it, while his left hand reached out and grabbed the head of another, his fingers exerting force and crushing its skull.

“Mr. Lin, it’s this way…” Hu Xiaoyuan reminded him from behind.

“What do you mean ‘this way’? It doesn’t matter where! I’ll clear the creatures here first!”

“How can you clear them all? These things can’t be killed, they are endless, it’s impossible…”

“What do you mean ‘endless’? You haven’t noticed it’s because you’re weak. Where I am, that’s where the depths are!”

“This…”

Hu Xiaoyuan suddenly paused, realizing with a start that the number of dark silhouettes nearby seemed to have significantly decreased!

The chilly sensation from the surrounding darkness had also noticeably lessened…

What’s going on?

Could it be that they’ve actually all been killed?

At that moment, she saw the terrifying aura of Colin suddenly halt, then he turned around and gave her a kick.

Hu Xiaoyuan didn’t even have time to react before she was kicked away to the side…

“Is he out of control?”

Midair, her first thought was exactly this—borrowing the power of an “idol” certainly wasn’t without risk, and the greatest risk was the possibility of losing one’s sense of self and ultimately being assimilated by the “idol.”

The stronger the power, the higher the tendency for assimilation…

However, just as she hit the ground, she abruptly saw the ground explode into a crater beside Colin.

Following that, a rumbling sound came from afar—

A heavy sniper rifle!?

The instant she heard the sound, Hu Xiaoyuan’s pupils shrank, and she immediately recognized the source of the noise.

The enemy has this kind of weapon?

Without a second thought, she dashed behind a building to find cover.

Afterward, she looked worriedly at Mr. Lin, wanting to shout to him to stop being reckless.

Bullets might not be very effective against anomalies, but they’re certainly efficient at killing people, even more so than using superpowers.

Even an elephant couldn’t withstand a shot from a heavy sniper, not to mention the human body, even if it was enhanced…

“Hahaha, they’ve finally shown themselves.”

Colin turned around, looking towards a figure on the rooftop of a building hundreds of meters away, barely discernible.

He was not surprised in the least. If he had been reaping so many “dark silhouettes” and these people had not responded, then he would really have to question their intelligence.

Then, he touched his right ear and looked at his hand; there was some blood on it.

“Heh, not bad, they’ve actually managed to injure my skin. However, compared to enemies I’ve encountered in the past, you’re not even worth a second glance, not to mention a mention!”

Colin turned and shoveled another dark silhouette, containing it on the spot.

Bang!

Another heavy sniper shot came, the bullet piercing the asphalt road, causing the ground to tremble.

“Too slow, too weak, disappointing.”

Colin shook his head with a sigh, waving the shovel in his hand, and before their very eyes, contained another dark silhouette.

At this time, the “Level 2 Containment Sphere” already held more than two hundred of them, and looking at the progress bar above, it seemed that two-thirds had already been contained.

“Damn it! He just arrived, he hasn’t even been near the construction site—how did he discover this?”

Some cultists hiding in the shadows gritted their teeth in frustration.

They had laid many traps around the construction site, but to their dismay, he hadn’t shown up.

Not only had he not shown up, but the concentration of anomalies in the entire town was decreasing!

They immediately realized that someone had discovered this critical secret and was not coming over; they wouldn’t fall for the trap, rendering all the traps and ambushes useless!

Then, a few more bullets fell empty, and they became visibly agitated.

“What’s happening! What exactly is happening! Which figure did he borrow from?! Why is it that as soon as he makes a move, he can directly complete the containment?!”

The cultists hidden in the darkness also evidently considered Colin a user of the “Divine Strike” power.

They just didn’t understand which figure he was using.

But no matter what, feeling the continuous decrease of strange powers around them, they knew they couldn’t drag this out any longer. If they continued to be killed off like this, they would be left with only one path—death!

“No, we can’t keep hiding! Even if we’re discovered, it doesn’t matter!”

“We’re all in! Hold them off, bet our lives on it—we can’t let them get away from here before twelve o’clock!”

A few cultists behind the scenes gritted their teeth, ready to step into the fray.
